The next Rovers manager

[Barmitzvah Boy]

I hear on the grapevine that our new DoF is refusing to engage with the Press. He is not returning any calls / emails / approaches.

 

[frwjd]

Good for him!

 

[Andreas Dei.]

It sounds exciting although I wasn’t aware football is such a complex game!
It does say, however, that he will require a lot of investment by the owners which is my only concern.

I can't help wondering if this is partly also an explanation for the presentations JDT asked for from the players. (Reference the part of the article which refers to the intelligence of the players.)

Not sure how to interpret that BB.
Is he struggling and finding press intrusion a nuisance? Or is he going about his work in a calm but focussed way and not wanting to be disturbed?
Perhaps soon we may get a clutch of signings and all will be well!

 

[Drog]

Perhaps he's just shy.

 

[davebirch]

Or setting out his stage for the coming season.

Or taking lessons off our CEO

In the political sphere I'd 100% support that, given my view of the vast majority of journalists is they're the lowest form of pondlife.

In the circumstances of a small Championship club with very limited, fairly friendly, media interest, I find it a bit strange. Chatting to the LET about club strategy is hardly gonna cause a panic attack.

Maybe Venkys, opaque as ever, have told him not to.

Survival instinct more like. Let the manager do the talking. He's prob been on brfcs.

Had a quick look over there and it’s hysteria regarding no signings. I guess a lot of them think we have lot of money in the bank and should do signings asap. The situation is not optimal but you have to live in the reality somehow and understand we have give the youngsters a chance to start with until we have cash or find someone that JDT wants to the team that we can actually afford.

Drove past the training ground this morning and JDT was putting the cones out. I waved at him and he waved back, top bloke.

They all work as public servants or techies and have no idea of financing a business...... or the real world for that matter!

Full of teachers!

 

[khmerblue]

I would not be bothered if we signed no one, let's see what we have on the books already.

 

[Drog]

I'm pretty sure we are too light in defence and midfield waggy. Injuries and suspensions could seriously damage us. Also I'm sure the new management team have already looked at what we have hence the interest in Davies and mooy.

1000% agree with that pal. I’d love to see a team of home growns smash b***ley home and away, bragging rights for decades there.

 

[Chaddyrovers]

JDT 3 wins in 3 league games. top of the league.

We look a strong organised team who understand their role in the team

It is! There is a smattering of quality in the first 11 but by and large it’s depth is bottom ten.
